Hurray! We finally received our buffet that we had ordered more than 2 months ago. We had driven 3 hours to Belgium to furniture shop, as that is where good furniture most often comes from around here. We were anticipating purchasing some hardwood furniture, as we wanted something to last a long while, not break down in 5 years. Well, we did find a lot of hardwood furniture, but the styles were always too much- too much decor, too big of a piece, too much money. Then we found this piece that I really love. It has that rustic feel, and is stained a darker shade, but since it is pine, it has wonderful contrast and interest to the piece, topped off with already rusted doorhandles. Yup, just the thing I love. Despite the drawback of Pine furniture (easily nicked, and heat sensitive), I fell in love with this piece and it more suitably fit our pocketbook. So, this is now the newest addition to our household and I love it!
